RECORD PLAYER

Do you remember waiting for the new 45's to arrive at the record store so you could go home and listen to your favorite song until you knew every word by heart? This ornament will bring all of that wonderful music back and is a great way to remind your spouse, sibling or grandparent of the music of their youth. The record player s origins trace back to the invention of the phonograph by Thomas Edison in 1877. The record player was widely used until the 1980s. Despite technological advances in music, many people prefer the sound of a classic record player and collect records and players alike. 4 1/2 in.
Each figural glass ornament produced by Old World Christmas is hand crafted in age-old tradition using the same techniques that originated in the 1800's. Molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds made exclusively for Old World Christmas, before a hot solution of liquid silver is poured inside. The ornaments are then hand-painted and glittered in a series of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful creations.
